How to Be Agreeable.

Very rarely, If ever, young persons acquire
the ability TO converse with ease and tiuency.
This implies, first of all, good ideas, clearly
and sensibIy expressed. An empty mind
never made good talker; remember, you
cannot draw water out of an empty well
Next in Importance is self possession. SELF
possession is nine points in the law"-of good
breeding.
A good voice is as essential to self-posses
sion as good ideas are essential to fluent
language The voice, from infancy, should
be carefully trained and developed; full,
clear, flexible voice is one Of the surest in
dications of good breeding; it falls like music
on the ear. and while it pleases the listener,
it adds to the confidence of its pOSsessor, be
he ever so timid. One may be witty without
being popular; voluble without being agree
able; a great talker and yet great bore. 1t
is wise then, to note carefully the following
suggestions:
Be sincere; he who habitually Eneers at
everything, will not only render himself dis
agreeable to others, but will soon cease to
find pleasure in life.
Be frank frank, open countenance and
q clear, CHEEKY laugh are worth far more,
even socially, than "pedantry in stiff
cravat"
Be amiable you may hide vindictive
nature under polite exterior for time, as
q cat masks its sharp claws in velvet fur, out
the least provocation brings out one a.
quickly as the other; i'll natured persons are
always disllked.
Be sensible; society never lacks for fools.
II you want elbow room, Ego up higher"
Be cheerful; if you have no great trouble
on your mind, you have no right to render
other people miserabl by your long face and
dolorous tones If you do you viii be gener-
ally avoided.
But above ALL be cordial; true cordially
unites all the qualities we have enumerated

A Hint to the ThoughtfuI.

A recently published pamphlet on WED
lock-" by an anonymous author, undertakes
to show that matrimony is not so bad as is
represented by many who make up their
picture from the scandals Of divorce courts,
the quarrels of uncongenial partners, and the
disease and wretchednesS that follow excess
and ignorance as inevitable consequences.
He assures the candidates for cOnjugal hap
piness that there is a golden secret by which
love nav De made perpetual The great
error, he thinks, is the traditional fiction that
husband and wife are one, and the husband
is that one. They should both preserve their
individuality as they possessed it before mar
riage They should maintain reserve the
same as in tie days of courtsh1p; they should
respect, as then, each others personality; they
should each preserve a sphere apart from the
other in which to exercise good tastes, judg
Inent, will and activities with which nature
has endowed every person, and which are
essential to the normal development, health
and continued enjoyment of existence. In a
single word, his remedy for the evils and
abuses of the institution Is, live under the

The cooking school was only born to the
world a half dozen years ago Now they
have become so popular that they are almost
as common in New York as the drug store"
in prohibition state.
1T sounds little odd" remarked the fair
director of one of these institutions, "to say
that no young lady is considered to have fin
ished her education and to be ready for so
ciety until she has taken course in cooking.
Nevertheless, that is getting TO be the fact.
1t is beginning to be realized that knowi
edge of bread making is OF at least as much
importance as a knowledge of Greek roots,
and that good soup is worth more to the hu-
man race than the ability to demonstrate
problem of Euclid. After fashionable

second cook at home.
There is no college nonsense of sitting on
and taking notes from lecture. She has to
do the actual work until she thoroughly under
stands it, Bread is the first thing, then meats
and soups and finally pastry and fancy
dishes Practical experiments IN all these
things are mixed with great deal OF instruc-
ton about the care of house and the details
of marketing. When the young woman
finishes a course in good cooking school she
has the art at her fingers ends, and can get
up ANYTHING from hand made and double
iointed sandwich for a railroad eating house
to a ten course dinner of the most elaborate
kind Many of the young women who are
learning these things will never have chance
to use their knowledge practically, but you
may be sure their households won't be the
worse off because of it.
The same practical spirit which has deVel-
oped the cooking school has made other kinds

Artesian Wells i'm Africa.

The reclamation from the desert
of portions of Northern Africa by
means of artesian wells, seems to
be going on prosperously. The
first well has constantly increased
its flow, and now irrigates an area
of 500 acres, on which are grow
ing many thousand palm trees, be-
sides garden crops for the support
Of the population which has flocked
to the place, and second we'll has
been driven about two miles from
the first, which already delivers
nearly twice as much water as the
first. II the flow from the second
can be distributed as successfully as
that from the first, the two wells,
neither of which is 800 feet deep,
will bring into cultivation an area
of more than seven square miles,
forming an oasis of considerable i'm
portance, and it seems now prob
able that the French Government
may take measures for restoring
their ancient fertility to tracts which
were once renowned for their fruit
fulness.

THE EUREKA SENTINEL.

The APPEAL is sorry to note the de-
mise of the Daily Eureka Sentinel,
or rather its change from a daily to
a weekly edition. The Sentinel has
tor many years occupied leading
position in Nevada journalism, with
George Cassidy as proprietor.
There has been a good many diff
ferent hands at the bellows, but
one can always tell when Cassidy
is back in Eureka writing his own
editorials. He has a clean cut, di-
rect way of expressing himself,
which is the very acme of good edi-
torial writing, because he always
makes himself thoroughly under
stood. Beside this, no other writer
in the State knows more of its past
political history than Cassidy, and
he has an excellent memory for the
salient points
Eureka gets black eye by this
change, from which the town will
not speedily recover. Eureka could
easily support good daily paper if
it paid half as much into the husi-
ness office of the Sentinel as it pays
for outside papers published in Cali
fornia.

IN THE TOLLS.

Facts are coming to light which
are liable to bring to justice several
notorious men in San Francisco.
The Grand Jury have secured evil
dence which seriously duplicates
Chris. Buckley, Jere Driscoll, Joe
Cochrane and III. HI. Lowenthal.
The latter is cheeky little petit
logger of the Police Court, who has
been conspicuous In defending jury
bribers and boodlers in San Fran
cisco.
The papers speak of a contract
between Buckley and a Chinaman
with Buckley's name signed. This
must be a mistake, as Buckley, be-
ing blind, never signs anything,
and is not credited with being a
fool. However, the evidence Sc
cured by the Grand Jury through
thu pluck and activity of Stewart
Menzies, will make it very warm
for the Doodle gang at the Bay.
"Little Pete" the convicted China
man, gave the evidence which en-
abled the Grand Jury to secure the
documents.

rampant in San Francisco for years,
and not until number of scamps
are behind the bars will the evil be
